Re: [PHP-DOC] include vs. require doc updates From: Philip Olson (philip <email protected>)

Essentially, the only difference now is require() produces a Fatal Error
while include produces a Warning. And, an appropriate note will exist
explaining the differences prior to 4.0.2.

Should the main documentation live within one and refer to the other?
Kinda like printf does to sprintf. I'm thinking include would contain
the bulk, require referring to it. Or, someone could flip a coin :) Of
course require docs wouldn't be totally bare but ...
